Defender of 1.86 meters tall is reliable. FC Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann hails 24-year-old Dayot Upamecano’s world-class performance. Game for game, he is helping the defending German champions boast the best defense in the Bundesliga this season (18 goals conceded) and also the best group stage in the Champions League against Manchester City (two). Now, the Munich team, which is runner-up in the World Cup in France, is preparing to face Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 of the most important club competition in Europe. We chat with Upamecano about playing on the biggest stage alongside Lionel Messi and the PSG attack, his flexibility alongside Matthijs de Ligt, Julian Nagelsmann’s analysis – and why he doesn’t plan on pursuing a career as an opera singer.
